A beach florist got an unusual contribution and request recently: $500 from a Pacific Beach woman to pass out flowers to random passers-by.“We have never seen such generosity and kindness,” enthused Melissa Cummings, co-owner, along with her mom, of Petals by the Beach at 1470 Garnet Ave. “She wanted to spread kindness to the people of her community, to show that there are still kind people out there despite our world problems. It was enough to pay for flowers every day for two weeks. That was pretty cool.”The donation came from Pacific Beach resident Thera Storm, who is a grief counselor. Storm said the recent back-to-back mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, that left at least 31 people dead, prompted her to do something extraordinary.“After those two shootings within 13 hours of each other, I noticed the reaction on Facebook was just so scary and negative,” said Storm. “The next morning I sat down and thought, ‘What could I do that’s positive?’ Then I had the idea of donating money to a local ... http://www.sdnews.com/view/full_story/27660789/article-Petals-by-the-Beach-uses-donation-to-spread-kindness-through-flowers-?instance=bbp

GALLERIA FLORIST OWNER Alisa Rabinovich sent flowers to four congresswomen whom President Donald Trump told to “go back” to the countries they came from. (Courtesy photo)A Falls Church florist delivered some botanical aid to the four Democratic congresswomen who were the subject of one of President Donald Trump’s Twitter tirades earlier this month.It didn’t take long for Alisa Rabinovich, owner of Galleria Florist in Falls Church, to take action after witnessing an all-too-common political altercation devolve into something nastier.In response to in-fighting between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.) and four freshmen Democratic congresswomen — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) — Trump chose to chime in with a tweet, asking “Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came?” That line in particular struck a racial connotation with Americans who watched the verbal bar... https://fcnp.com/2019/07/31/f-c-florist-sends-bouquets-to-congresswomen-targeted-by-trump/

How does Encore Boston Harbor keep its flowers so fresh? Meet the shrub whisperer - The Boston Globe

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

The top-end rooms have even more greenery.All the casino resort’s plant razzle-dazzle isn’t something you can just go and buy at Mahoney’s. Chadwick and his team of gardeners, florists, supervisors, and managers plan and plan and plan, he said.AdvertisementThey purchase flowers about a year in advance and work with a range of vendors to bring plants to bloom: seed companies, propagators, and growers.“None of these are flowers that you can just go buy off the shelf somewhere,” he said in the Encore Boston Harbor lobby not far from some of his workers, who were adding fresh yellow and orange arrangements. “You start talking about 4,000 flowers every two weeks — there are not a lot of places that can do that.”Walking through the casino’s front entrance, Chadwick explains the thinking behind the thick-leaf blend of yew and Japanese white pine nearby (a pleasant look for people being dropped off on one side; a protection for outdoor diners at the fancy Sinatra restaurant from the glare of headlights on the other).Brilliant floral beds formed a carpet around a trio of sculptures.(David L. Ryan/Globe Staff)The son of a landscape designer and a landscape installer, Chadwick regales you with the story of some of the 89 Scotch pines, all dug up in far-flung places, trucked to Everett and placed just so for the right Wynn Resorts look. Chadwick speaks with joy about the weeping cherries and Taylor junipers, about how he has a desk, but “most of the time, my office is out here.”He tells you about tree number one, an autumn splendor maple, that stands as a marker of the site’s transformation from a polluted former Monsanto chemical factory to a high-end casino resort. (He doesn’t mention the Exelon power station that is still across the street.)AdvertisementHe explains how to build a six-and-a-half-acre park after cleaning up loads of toxic waste: planting the trees, then putting in the walkways, layering in shrubs, and installing irrigation.And he describes the awe he feels seeing the property filled with people, finding serenity in the natural landscape he helped create.He encourages you to walk the property.And so you find your way to the harborwalk near the river and you look toward Boston. You can’t even tell you’re standing right next to a casino, with all its beeping and flashing slots, hoots and ... https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/08/18/everett-casino-charge-green/0IdI0WQBNr1CF6KiDWeYtM/story.html

She credits the trainer for saving her husband's life. (Sarah Penton) At one point in her life, Penner thought about becoming a professional florist, but wasn't drawn to the business aspect of it.
